The Nameberry "Go with the Flow" Challenge

General Name Discussion

I’m afraid I don’t understand what you mean… at all :sweat_smile:

22

Boys name that needs a break “Lysander”, best three syllable name “Rio”….
Basically trying to be as unique as possible while still picking real names.

23

Ahh gotcha. We can do that! [name_u]Or[/name_u] we can do a “Go against the flow” challenge, where the user with the least points (but still correct answers) wins :grin:

Congratulations!

I hope you all had as much fun as I did. It took a long time though and it’s very much possible I made mistakes, so feel free to look up your answers and re-count your score (especially since some were so close). Thanks again to everyone who participated, it wouldn’t have been possible without you! :heart:

This was so much fun! Thank you for putting so much time and effort into it. I’m honored to take home the gold, and congratulations @oceansea and @kasatka !! :tada:

I’m also amused to see I put #1 as the easiest, having not gotten the most popular answer right on that question!
